Frankenstein’s Wedding

Frankenstein’s Wedding was a musical drama broadcast live from Kirkstall Abbey in Leeds on BBC Three on 19 March 2011. The story was based on Mary Shelley‘s novel Frankenstein and focused on the night of Victor Frankenstein’s (Andrew Gower) wedding to his father’s ward Elizabeth Lavenza (Lacey Turner). Andrew sang several well known songs including Wires by Athlete. Alongside the live performances, some pre-recorded films were also shown, such as the making of Frankenstein’s monster (David Harewood). 12,000 people watched the show live at the Abbey.

Frankenstein’s Wedding was nominated for a 2012 BAFTA award in the Sports and Live Events category but lost to The Royal Wedding.
